BACKGROUND:Autologous bone,allogeneic bone or artificial bone has been used to promote bone defect repair in the clinic,but the rate of non-healing is still high.The key is to ignore the importance of periosteum in the bone healing process.In the early stage of the project,the project team constructed an electrospinning membrane loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor to highly simulate the intramembranous osteogenesis of natural periosteum at the bone defect site,which promoted bone regeneration to a certain extent.However,the injured area often faces the dilemma of severe inflammatory response mediated by macrophages and lack of seed cells,resulting in the risk of inactivation or diffusion of delivered biological factors.Therefore,it is necessary to further optimize and coordinate the immune regulation and angiogenesis functions of biomimetic periosteum to promote bone repair.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the physicochemical properties of stem cell-engineered bionic periosteum and its role in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment to promote bone repair.METHODS:By combining L-polylactic acid-based microsol electrospinning,type Ⅰ collagen self-assembly and gel stem cell transplantation technology,a bionic periosteum(M@C-B)was constructed,in which the core layer loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor and the shell layer delivered bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to regulate the immune microenvironment of bone defects.The physicochemical properties of the periosteum were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.A co-culture system was established between the bionic periosteum and macrophages,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells to explore immune regulation and in vitro osteogenic and angiogenic abilities.Finally,the osteogenic properties of the stem cell engineered bionic periosteum were further verified in a rat femoral condyle defect model.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the micro-sol electrospinning(MS)formed a distinct core-shell structure.Scanning electron microscopy indicated that after the assembly of the collagen-l artificial periosteum(M@C)on the surface of the vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded micro-sol,a distinct"spider web-like"fibrous structure was deposited.Infrared spectroscopy further confirmed the successful self-assembly of collagen-l.Release experiments demonstrated that the M@C group mitigated the burst release phenomenon compared to the MS group,maintaining internal vascular endothelial growth factor activity and sustained release.(2)Live/dead cell staining and CCK-8 assay showed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells proliferated well and survived on three types of artificial periosteum:MS,purely aligned poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)surface self-assembled collagen-l artificial periosteum(PLLA@C),and vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded micro-sol fiber surface self-assembled collagen-l-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells artificial periosteum(M@C-B).Among them,the M@C-B group had the highest number of live cells and the fastest proliferation rate.(3)Alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,and osteopontin immunofluorescence staining showed that the PLLA@C and M@C-B groups significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Angiogenesis experiments demonstrated that the vascular endothelial growth factor-loaded groups(MS and M@C-B)had longer blood vessel lengths and more reticular vascular-like structures with more cross-linked nodes,with the M@C-B group being the most prominent.(4)Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry showed that artificial periosteum in the M@C-B group significantly inhibited the pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype and promoted the polarization of macrophages towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.(5)In vivo studies further confirmed that the M@C-B group showed superior bone mineral density,trabecular thickness,relative bone volume,and trabecular spacing compared to other groups.(6)These results indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-engineered artificial periosteum,through the rapid regulation of the bone defect immune microenvironment by the collagen-l-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells outer phase and the sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor by the micro-sol electrospinning core-shell structure of the inner phase,synergistically promotes bone healing.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the medical-community linkage model on activities of daily living, psychological status and motor function of stroke patients in the community. MethodsA total of 60 stroke patients admitted to two community health service centers and their affiliated stations in Fengtai District, Beijing, from January, 2024 to August, 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and intervention group (n = 30). The control group received routine medicine, dietary care and rehabilitation management, while the intervention group underwent rehabilitation with the medical-community linkage model, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the MBI, HAMA, HAMD and FMA scores of patients improved in both groups (|t| > 5.599, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), except MBI. The HAMA and HAMD scores of family members decreased in both groups (|t| > 10.333, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the intervention group than in the control group (t > 5.681, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe medical-community linkage model can further improve the motor function of stroke patients in community, as well as the psychological status of both patients and their family members.

The FCHO1 protein, encoded by the FCHO1 gene, is a pioneer protein that plays an important role in the initial stage of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In recent years, it has been found that defects in the FCHO1 gene or abnormal expression levels of the FCHO1 protein are closely related to certain human diseases. This article will review the latest research results of FCHO1 in malignant tumors, immunodeficiency diseases, neurodegenerative diseases of the nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

TCM treatment for diabetic foot ulcers mainly involves Wnt, Nrf2, PI3K/Akt, NF-κB signaling pathway, Notch, TGF-β/Smad and HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway. TCM monomers, compounds and extracts can promote wound healing by regulating related signaling pathways, reducing the release of inflammatory factors, anti-oxidative stress, and promoting angiogenesis and granulation tissue regeneration.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanisms of anti-dizziness drugs in treating motion sickness.Methods Literature mining was utilized to obtain commonly used drugs for the treatment of dizziness.Corresponding targets for motion sickness were identified using databases such as GeneCards and literature,while the Herb database was used to obtain targets corresponding to drugs.Venn diagrams were employed to find the intersection of drug treatment targets,and the DAVID database was used for KEGG and GO analysis to determine the pathways corresponding to these targets.Sankey diagram tools were used to obtain the number of significant pathways corresponding to each target,thereby identifying core targets.The TCMSP database and literature were used to acquire the effective chemical components corresponding to each drug,and core components were determined based on the number of corresponding drugs.The intersection with core targets was taken to identify corresponding targets.The HPA database,along with single-cell transcriptomics and spatial transcriptomics,was used to determine the distribution of corresponding targets in brain neurons.Finally,AutoDock was used to determine the docking status between core effective components and core targets.Results A literature database was used to obtain 13 high-frequency drugs for treating dizziness,with 379 corresponding targets after deduplication.Databases and literature provided 1198 high-credibility targets corresponding to motion sickness,with 89 intersection targets between drugs and diseases.GO enrichment analysis yielded 1237 significant entries,including positive regulation of miRNA transcription,and KEGG enrichment analysis identified 51 neural function-related signaling pathways,such as the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway and the glutamatergic synapse pathway.Sankey diagrams identified 18 core genes,including MAPK3,AKT1,MAPK1,PRKCA,and INSR;drug component analysis determined beta-sitosterol as the core component,which can form good molecular docking with MAPK14,Bcl-2,and PRKCA.Conclusion Anti-dizziness drugs possess the potential to treat motion sickness and may exert neuroprotective effects through neural function-related pathways such as the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway and the glutamatergic synapse pathway.beta-sitosterol,as a core natural compound,can interact with proteins related to neural function and warrants further research and exploration.

Clinically,the incidence of chronic musculoskeletal pain is relatively high,and it is one of the main causes of disability in Chinese residents,causing a heavy health and economic burden to the society.There are limited treatments available for patients who are ineffective to conservative treatment and whose disorders are inoperable.Recently,transcatheter embolization(TCE)has become a potential treatment method for such patients.Chronic musculoskeletal pain,such as knee osteoarthritis,adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder(frozen shoulder),tendinopathy,and neck/back muscle pain,can induce pathological neovascularization and inflammatory reactions.TCE of abnormal neovasculature can improve patient's pain and limb function.So far,there are relatively few studies on the TCE of chronic musculoskeletal pain in China,and there are no large-scale high-quality clinical studies abroad.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the TCE for chronic musculoskeletal pain,focusing on its basic principles,operative techniques,and latest clinical achievements.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)plus apatinib(Apa)and camrelizumab(Cam)and TACE plus Apa in treating CNLC stage Ⅲ hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A total of 54 patients in Affiliated Yancheng No.1 People's Hospital,School of Medicine,Nanjing University with CNLC stage Ⅲ HCC were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into triple treatment group(n=25,receiving TACE plus Apa and Cam)and dual treatment group(n=29,receiving TACE plus Apa).The overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)were compared between the two groups.Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to determine the independent influencing factors for OS and PFS.The target immunotherapy-related adverse reactions(TRAE)were analyzed.Results The median OS and PFS in the triple treatment group were 23.2 months and 10.9 months respectively,which were higher than 15.2 months and 5.8 months respectively in the dual treatment group(both P＜0.001).Multivariate analysis indicated that the therapeutic regimen and the type of portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT)were the independent factors affecting OS,while only the therapeutic regimen was the independent factor affecting PFS.The incidence of≥grade Ⅲ TRAE in the triple treatment group and the dual treatment group was 20％(5/25)and 17.2％(5/29)respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of patients with CNLC stage Ⅲ HCC,TACE plus Apa and Cam is superior to TACE plus Apa in OS and PFS,and the type of PVTT and the therapeutic regimen are the independent prognostic factors associated with patient's survival.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of patients undergoing the maintenance hemodialysis and treatment-naive tuberculosis and to explore the prognostic factors,so as to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of patients undergoing hemodialysis due to tuberculosis.Methods The clinical data of 70 patients undergoing hemodialysis with treatment-naive tuberculosis admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Kunming from October 31,2020～October 31,2023 were retrospectively collected,the clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed,and the occurrence of adverse reactions,treatment outcomes and prognostic factors were observed.Results Among the 70 patients,pulmonary tuberculosis was the primary type(64 cases,accounting for 91.43％),and extrapulmonary tuberculosis was also quite common(56 cases,accounting for 80.00％).The most widely used anti-tuberculosis regimen was isoniazid,rifampicin,ethambutol,and moxifloxacin in a four-drug combination;During the anti-tuberculosis treatment,55 patients(78.57％)improved.A total of 13 adverse reactions occurred in 11 patients(15.71％),and the most common ones were itching,rash and blurred vision.The hemoglobin,lymphocyte count and CD8+T lymphocyte count in the treatment improvement group were higher than those in the ineffective group(P<0.05).Conclusion Dialysis patients have a high risk of tuberculosis infection,mainly pulmonary tuberculosis,and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is more common.78.57％of the patients hare improved after the tuberculosis treatment,but the overall prognosis is poor,and the low hemoglobin level is associated with ineffective treatment.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of different nucleoside(acid)analogs(NAs)used as monotherapy and in combination with pegylated interferon α-2b(Peg-IFN-α-2b)in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 229 CHB patients who visited the Hepatology Department of the Third People's Hospital of Kunming from September 2022 to August 2023.Patients were divided into six groups based on their antiviral regimen:entecavir(ETV)group(A,n=47),ETV combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(B,n=19),Tenofovir Alafenamide(TMF)group(C,n=64),TMF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(D,n=35),Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF)group(E,n=29),and TDF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group(F,n=35).The blood routine,liver function,kidney function,HBV serological markers,and HBV-DNA levels were compared before and after 24 weeks of treatment.Results After 24 weeks of treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in efficacy rates and HBV-DNA positivity rates between the monotherapy with NAs and the combination with Peg-IFN-α-2b(P>0.05).Comparing before and after treatment,the ETV group had the highest effective rate,while TDF combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group had the lowest effective rate.TDF group had the highest efficiency,while ETV combined with Peg-IFN-α-2b group had the lowest efficiency.Except for ETV+Peg-IFN-α-2b and TDF+Peg-IFN-α-2b groups,the HBV-DNA positivity rates in the other four groups were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).There was a significant difference in HBsAg levels among the different treatment regimens of monotherapy with NAs and combination with Peg-IFN-α-2b(P=0.0483).Additionally,except for the ETV and TDF groups,the serum HBsAg levels in the other four groups were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).There were no significant difference in LSM and GFR before and after treatment(P>0.05).In the monotherapy groups,ALT and GGT levels were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05),while in the combination Peg-IFN-α-2b group,WBC,NEUT,and PLT levels were significantly lower after treatment compared to before(P<0.05).Conclusion Combination therapy with Peg-IFN-α-2b can reduce HBsAg levels and may be more effective in controlling the virus;however,it may cause adverse reactions such as bone marrow suppression,increasing risks.Physicians and patients need to weigh the benefits against the risks and develop personalized treatment plans based on individual circumstances.
